I just want a decent tint that's going to stay on for 4 years or so and is not going to get scratched up aor turn pink. I'm in New York metro area so heat's not that much of a concern. so if 3m is pricier is it also better or not? thx

I had Llumar on my last car never had any problems, it's a good looking tint almost looks smoked under the sun. The 3M i have now on my 335 seems lighter than the Llumar IMO. Hit up Joe at the tint shop in Great Neck. He carries 3m and Crystalline there and can show you the difference in person.

Great tint shop in Staten Island use great film done All my cars there no issues !!! WC Tint on Hylan !!!

for those following this up, that place quoted ~$200 for digi.. not quite sure i wanna go with that film tho. llumar seems to win out and i dont see how 3m warrants an extra $100.. maybe it does, but i am yet to see why and how..

it could also have to do with warranties as it did with my installation. For 3m it was about $100 more but came with lifetime warranty and the kicker was that any 3m building would do warranty work if say the shop I went to ever went under
